WTF is going on here?! And how can you even pass a checkride if your
wing
passes over the wing of a parked aircraft?


I don't think that is specifically against any rules. Often times
while parking I'll manuever my (low) wing underneath the wing of a
neighboring Cessna. Of course, I'm just not tearing willy-nilly into a
parking space without regard to other airplanes or people. I do it
slowly and carefully.

That said, it sounds like the FBO has instituted these rules for a
good reason (tight parking, foot traffic). If people are regularly
breaking the rule and causing the problems you described, I'd certainly
bring it up with the FBO management. Perhaps they need to emphasize
the rule a bit more and spell out some penalties. It sounds like they
might not have spread the word in a strong enough manner.
